What a Week!

So, I spent the last hour doing a post that just got erased.  I am heartbroken!!!  Let's see.  What did I say???

My favorite time of the year is my first parent teacher conference.  I love building the relationships with you for the success and growth of your child.  I promise you that by putting their sweet lives in my hands for 7 hours a day I will love and care for them as my own.  I already do!  They are my kids.  We are a school family, and I am so very blessed to be their first grade teacher.  Thank you for sharing them with me!  Please remember this Monday, October 12th is a student holiday.  There will not be school for the students.  I look forward to our time together and our relationship building over the year. Please know I will do anything and everything in my power for your child.  They already have my heart.  Please tell them I will see them in Tuesday.  💓

This past week was filled with music.  We were all a part of a system learning about sound energy, vibration and pitch.  The kids put their talents to use when they created their instrument based on their blueprint.  

We had guitars,

maracas, ---  SO, SO happy!

drums,

a few popped ballons, a lot of laughs and a blast!

We started our first Design Challenge today.  It will be a "Pumpkin" Storybook Character to design.  After voting, charting and picking groups we now have the following pumpkins being created.  Fancy Nancy, Scooby Doo, Elsa and Batman.  If you would like to donate a medium to large pumpkin please let me know.  

Some of the other supplies we are need of:  paint, brushes, buttons, pipe cleaners, tacky glue, Styrofoam, cardboard, pom poms, felt, feathers, googly eyes, ribbons, yarn, tin foil, fabric, and any other materials that you think would work. 

After seeing their blueprints today I cannot wait to see the finished projects!!!

I look forward to seeing you on Monday.  Have a fantastic weekend!!!
